Options Investment Strategy
What is the optimal options investment strategy? One that focuses on risk management. That is the only way to manage your downside and to lower your volatility of returns.
As George Fontainills notes, the main difference between a winning investor and a losing investor is the vision to systematically spot good opportunities. Warren Buffett is such an example.

- What is the maximum loss I can take?

- Duration of movement of the underlying security
- Magnitude of movement of the underlying security
